Step 1
First, let's draw a diagram to visualize the problem. We have a cable hanging between points C and D, with the lowest point of the cable 0.18 m below CD. We also have members AC and DE connected to the cable. Show more…

The cable $A C B$ has a mass per unit length of $0.45 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}$. Knowing that the lowest point of the cable is located at a distance $a=0.6 \mathrm{m}$ below the support $A$, determine $(a)$ the location of the lowest point $C$, $(b)$ the maximum tension in the cable.

The cable $A C B$ has a mass per unit length of $0.45 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}$. Knowing that the lowest point of the cable is located at a distance $a=2 \mathrm{m}$ below the support $A$, determine $(a)$ the location of the lowest point $C,$ (b) the maximum tension in the cable.
The tension in cable CD is T = 600 lb. Consider the force which this cable exerts on point C and determine its moment about point O. Answer: Mo = -4560.54 lb-ft
